That "hot sun" part could be a little tricky. This is Minnesota, and I won't be seeing that for at least six months... :D
Converting from the oil bath to a disposable paper filter would seem nice but it would require some irreversible modifications, which I'm not in...
Touché. Taken especially well by someone who is on their fifth head gasket on their old daily driver (a '91 Plymouth).
Next I can get to work at adding one of these :-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/krotpong/463705168/
Beautiful. Thanks! I've wanted to add a "second opinion" temp gauge anyway, this gives me a way to do that, with or without the idiot light.
How might one add a temperature switch? Temperature probes are normally in the block/water jacket, as is the case with the current gauge. Is it...
I've started to tackle some long-ignored dashboard wiring issues and it's got me thinking... Is there a good way to build your own "idiot...
Got my Napa batteries today... I think my truck now starts faster than my 2006 daily driver. But that would have happened with any new battery; I...
I love that I was able to find this thread and it reminds me why I like this forum. I need to replace my 6v batteries (yes, plural) in a pinch so...
As a fortunate side benefit of the business that I'm in, I was able to ask, casually and directly, one of the head honchos of the Minnesota State...
I'll add to this that I bought some of the 3M strip caulk - Not bad and creates a really great seal. On the other hand, it's miserable to remove...
No worries about speeding in this thing. Top speed is about 55 mph, and it normally feels like you're driving about twice your actual speed...
I really don't see myself ever towing anything with it, and since I don't work for the business nor own it, it definitely is registered only in my...
Good info so far, keep 'em coming. This truck is 9600 lbs GVW. I actually do have a photo of what the company logo looked like 50 years ago, and...
On their own, I liked the first one better (with more gray/gunmetal). But looking at the vehicle, I think chrome is your friend here, so I'd...
Will do. It won't be so ugly after the new paint though. I'll miss the ratty appearance, but I couldn't watch mother nature eat away at it any...
Anyone ever know of (or hear of) any issues with putting a commercial logo on your vehicle? I have a commercial logo on my classic right now but...
Do you plan to repaint it yourself or have it done at a body/painting shop? If the one-year old paint job is no good, is it because you don't...
Ooh, I'm liking the plumber's putty idea - I've got a ton of that stuff and that hadn't even crossed my mind!
It's definitely in a hidden area (between two flanges that are bolted together). It's a 5-foot long hinge with about 9 bolts on each flange. I...
Hi all- Anyone know of an auto body sealer that's permanently flexible and NOT a glue? As I took my delivery truck apart, especially the back...
My first post, here goes! I have two project vehicles, one that's truly a classic, and one that's classic only to me. The latter is my 1991...
